Mui 18
1 A: ibalaha: me da Ma: melei soge amo sema ifa bagade lelebe sogebi esalu. Eso gia: beba: le, e da ea abula diasu logo holei gadenene filasa: i esalu. Amalalu, Hina Gode da ema doaga: i.
And Jehovah appeared to him by the oaks of Mamre. And he sat at the tent-door in the heat of the day.
2 A: ibalaha: me da ba: legadole, dunu udiana gadenene lelebe ba: i. Ba: loba, e da hedolowane ili yosia: musa: asi, amola ilima begudui.
And he lifted up his eyes and saw, and behold, three men standing near him. And when he saw [them], he ran to meet them from the tent-door, and bowed himself to the earth,
3 E amane sia: i, “Hina! Dilia da na hahawane ba: i galea, mae baligili masa.
and said, Lord, if now I have found favour in thine eyes, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant.
4 Na da hano gaguli misa: ne sia: mu. Amoga dilia emo dodofelalu, amo ifa ea ougiga helefima.
Let now a little water be fetched, that ye may wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree.
5 Na da dilia hawa: hamosu dunu defele esala. Dilia gasa bu lama: ne, na da dilima ha: i manu imunu da defeala: ?” Ilia da bu adole i, “Defea! Dia sia: i defele hamoma!”
And I will fetch a morsel of bread; and refresh yourselves; after that ye shall pass on; for therefore have ye passed on towards your servant. And they said, So do as thou hast said.
6 Amaiba: le, A:ibalaha: me da hedolowane ea abula diasua golili sa: i. E da Selama amane sia: i, “Hedolo! Falaua 22 lida amo lale, bibiagole amola gobele agi ga: gi hamoma.”
And Abraham hastened into the tent to Sarah, and said, Knead quickly three seahs of wheaten flour, and make cakes.
7 Amalalu, A:ibalaha: me da ea lai gebo gilisisu amoga hehenane, bulamagau mano gasono ida: iwane lale, ea hawa: hamosu dunuma i. Amo da hedolowane hahamoi.
And Abraham ran to the herd, and took a calf tender and good, and gave [it] to the attendant; and he hasted to dress it.
8 Amalalu, e da dodo maga: me haei, dodo maga: me amola bulamagau mano gobei, amo gaguli misini, sofe misi dunu ili amo moma: ne ligisi. Ilia da ha: i nanoba, e da ifa ea ougiga ilima gadenene lelu.
And he took thick and sweet milk, and the calf that he had dressed, and set [it] before them; and he stood before them under the tree, and they ate.
9 Ilia da ema amane adole ba: i, “Dia uda Sela da habila: ?” A: ibalaha: me da bu adole i, “E da abula diasu ganodini esala.”
And they said to him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent.
10 Amalalu, Hina Gode da amane sia: i, “Na da waha oubi sesegeyale uduli, dafawane dima misunu. Dia uda Sela da dunu mano lalelegemu.” Sela da abula diasu holei amo Hina Gode Ea baligiga galu amoga sia: lalabolalu.
And he said, I will certainly return to thee at [this] time of the year, and behold, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah was listening at the tent-door, which was behind him.
11 A: ibalaha: me amola Sela da da: i hamoi dagoiba: le, Sela da mano lamu ode defei amo baligi dagoi ba: i.
Now Abraham and Sarah were old [and] advanced in age: it had ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.
12 Amaiba: le, Sela da ea dogo ganodini ousu. Ea asigi dawa: su ganodini, e amane dawa: i, “Na da: i da wadela: lesi dagoi amola nagoa da da: i hamoi. Na da habodane amo hahawane hou ba: ma: bela: ?”
And Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am become old, shall I have pleasure, and my lord old?
13 Amalalu, Hina Gode da A: ibalaha: mema amane sia: i, “Sela da abuliba: le oune amane sia: i, ‘Na da da: i hamoiba: le, habodane mano lalelegema: bela: ?’
And Jehovah said to Abraham, Why is this, that Sarah laughs, saying, Shall I indeed bear, when I am become old?
14 Gasa bagade liligi hamomu da Godema hamedebela: ? Na da oubi sesegeyale uduli, eso ilegei defele na dima olelei, bu misunu. Amola Sela da dunu mano lalelegemu.”
Is [any] matter too wonderful for Jehovah? At the time appointed I will return to thee, at [this] time of the year, and Sarah shall have a son.
15 Sela da beda: iba: le, ogogoi. E amane sia: i, “Na da hame oui.” Be Hina Gode da amane sia: i, “Be di da oui dagoi.”
And Sarah denied, saying, I did not laugh; for she was afraid. And he said, No; but thou didst laugh.
16 Sofe misi dunu da masusa: wa: legadoloba, ilia da ba: le gaidi Sodame ba: i. Ilia da logoga ahoanoba, A:ibalaha: me da ili sigi asi.
And the men rose up thence, and looked toward Sodom; and Abraham went with them to conduct them.
17 Amalalu, Hina Gode da Hima amane sia: i, “Na da waha hou hamomu amo A: ibalaha: mema wamolegema: bela: ?
And Jehovah said, Shall I hide from Abraham what I am doing?
18 A: ibalaha: me ea fi da fi bagade amola gasa bagade hamomu. Ea houba: le, osobo bagade fifi asi gala huluane da hahawane dogolegele ilegesu ba: mu.
Since Abraham shall indeed become a great and mighty nation; and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him.
19 Bai Na da e ilegei dagoi. E da ea mano noga: le olelema: ne amola ea fi dunu da hou moloidafa amola dafawanedafa amo olelema: ne, Na da e ilegei. Amai galea, Na da Na hahawane ilegele sia: i liligi huluane ema imunu.”
For I know him that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of Jehovah, to do righteousness and justice, in order that Jehovah may bring upon Abraham what he hath spoken of him.
20 Amalalu, Hina Gode da amane sia: i, “Na da Sodame amola Goumola ela fi wadela: idafa hou amo nabi.
And Jehovah said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great and their sin is very grievous,
21 Amaiba: le, Na da ilia hou ba: ma: ne amo da nabi liligi defele ganabela: ? Amo Na da ba: la masunu. Hame galea Na da dawa: mu.”
I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come to me; and if not, I will know [it].
22 Sofe misi dunu da sinidigili, Sodame moilaiga doaga: musa: asi. Be A: ibalaha: me da mae fisili Hina Gode Ea midadi lelu.
And the men turned thence, and went towards Sodom; and Abraham remained yet standing before Jehovah.
23 Amalalu, e da Hina Godema misini, amane sia: i, “Di da dafawane gilisili ida: iwane dunu amola wadela: i hamosu dunu ili fane legema: bela: ?
And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also cause the righteous to perish with the wicked?
24 Amabela: ? Dunu ida: iwane 50 agoane amo moilai bai bagade ganodini esalabala? Amai galea, Di da amo dunu ilia hou dawa: beba: le, amo moilai bai bagade fadegale fasima: bela: ?
There are perhaps fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not forgive the place for the sake of the fifty righteous that are therein?
25 Na da agoane dawa: Di da dunu ida: iwane amola wadela: i hamosu dunu gilisili hou afadafa fawane hamomu da hamedei gala. Amo hou da Dima hame gala. Osobo bagade fifi asi gala ilima Fofada: su Dunudafa, E da hou moloidafa fawane hamoma: bela: ? Na agoane dawa: E da moloidafa hou fawane hamomu.”
Far be it from thee to do so, to slay the righteous with the wicked, that the righteous should be as the wicked — far be it from thee! Will not the Judge of all the earth do right?
26 Hina Gode da bu amane sia: i, “Na da Sodame moilai bai bagade ganodini dunu ida: iwane gala 50 agoane ba: sea, Na da ilia hou dawa: beba: le, Sodame huluane hame gugunufinisimu.”
And Jehovah said, If I find at Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will forgive all the place for their sakes.
27 Amalalu, A:ibalaha: me da bu sia: i, “Na da osobo amola nasubu, amo fawane. Be na da mae beda: iwane, Hina Godema sia: i dagoiba: le, na da bu sia: mu.
And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have ventured to speak unto the Lord; I, who am dust and ashes.
28 Di da Sodame moilai bai bagade ganodini, dunu ida: iwane 45 fawane ba: sea, Di da 50 defei amo ganodini wadela: i hamosu dunu biyale fawane ba: sea, moilai wadela: ma: bela: ?” E bu adole i, “Na da dunu ida: iwane 45 fawane ba: sea, moilai hame gugunufinisimu.”
Perhaps there may want five of the fifty righteous: wilt thou destroy all the city on account of the five? And he said, If I shall find forty-five there, I will not destroy [it].
29 A: ibalaha: me da eno amane sia: i, “Be 40 fawane ba: sea, adi hamoma: bela: ?” E amane sia: i, “Amo 40 ilia hou dawa: beba: le, Na da moilai bai bagade hame wadela: mu.”
And he continued yet to speak with him, and said, Perhaps there may be forty found there. And he said, I will not do it for the forty's sake.
30 Amalalu, A:ibalaha: me da amane sia: i, “Hina Gode! Nama mae ougima, be na da Dima bu sia: mu. Dunu 30 fawane ida: iwane esalea adi hamoma: bela: ?” E bu adole i, “Na da 30 ba: sea, moilai hame gugunufinisimu.”
And he said, Oh, let not the Lord be angry that I speak! Perhaps there may be thirty found there. And he said, I will not do it if I find thirty there.
31 A: ibalaha: me da amane sia: i, “Defea! Na da wali mae beda: iwane Hina Gode Ema sia: i dagoi. Be 20 fawane ba: sea?” E bu adole i, “Moloi dunu 20 ba: sea, Na da hame wadela: mu.”
And he said, Behold now, I have ventured to speak with the Lord. Perhaps there may be twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy [it] for the twenty's sake.
32 A: ibalaha: me da amane sia: i, “Hina Gode! Nama mae ougima, be na da afadafa fawane eno Dima sia: mu. Dunu 10 ida: iwane fawane ba: sea, adi hamoma: bela: ?” Hina Gode da bu adole i, “Dunu 10 ilia hou ida: iwane ba: sea, Na da amo moilai hame gugunufinisimu.”
And he said, Oh, let not the Lord be angry, that I speak yet but this time! Perhaps there may be ten found there. And he said, I will not destroy [it] for the ten's sake.
33 Hina Gode amola A: ibalaha: me, ela gilisili sia: dasu da dagoloba, Hina Gode da fisili asi amola A: ibalaha: me da hi diasuga buhagi.
And Jehovah went away when he had ended speaking to Abraham; and Abraham returned to his place.
